Water outlet housing contains metal bleed screw which randomly leaks antifreeze. first leak occurred approx 3 months ago and housing was replaced. housing leaked again, dealer tightened bleed screw but would not replace housing. housing is once again leaking, dealer will not repair. service manager says that chrysler engineers report that this leakage may occur and that no action will be taken to correct antifreeze leak. leakage occurs where bleed screw fitting inserts into the plastic water outlet housing. leakage does not occur from bleed screw but instead from the fitting to housing interface. chrysler engineers also reported (thru service manager) that they have had several complaints on this but there is no service bulletin or corrective action to stop leakage. *ak
